BOWLING GREEN — There are many ways to assist a struggling run defense.
An afternoon against the triple option is not exactly at the top of the list.
For Bowling Green, the timing of this week’s trip to Georgia Tech is about as bad as possible. Through four games, the Falcons have the worst rushing defense in the Football Bowl Subdivision.
Under 11th-year coach Paul Johnson, Georgia Tech is the same as ever. The run is not just the Yellow Jackets’ strength but their identity. Going into Saturday, Georgia Tech averages 331 rushing yards, the third-best mark in the country.
